I've searched the list about this topic but no relevant results came up.
I'd like to know what do you think about it. [3D origami]
My first inclination is to note that most of my own origami is 3D, and in fact
most origami by modern artists nowadays is 3D; there is relatively little flat
(2D) origami done anymore. And so I would say I like 3D origami very much.
But I realize that some people use the term “3D origami” not to mean “origami
that is 3D,” but to refer to a specific style of modular origami that is built
from many small triangular units, sometimes called “Golden Venture” units. And
from the way you phrased your question, I suspect that is what you are
referring to. I will answer assuming that was your intent (and apologize in
advance if it wasn’t).
I tend to apply the term “origami” fairly broadly, to any art form or endeavor
where “folding is the primary means of creating the form.” In Golden Venture
unit modular origami, the importance of folding in the overall result seems
somewhat diminished relative to the role of folding in other forms of origami,
and so that makes that genre less interesting to me personally than most other
forms of origami. To each one’s own, though; there are folks out there who love
to do it, and I wish them happy folding and assembly.
